Which of the following pairs has a heat of neutralisation equal to $13.7 \, Kcal$?

Combustion of $1$ $mol$ of benzene is expressed as:
$C_6H_{6(l)} + \frac{15}{2} O_{2(g)} \rightarrow 6CO_{2(g)} + 3H_2O_{(l)}$
The standard enthalpy of combustion of $2$ $mol$ of benzene is $-x$ $kJ$.
$x = . . . . . . . . . .$
$(1)$ Standard enthalpy of formation of $1$ $mol$ of $C_6H_{6(l)}$ is $48.5$ $kJ \ mol^{-1}$.
$(2)$ Standard enthalpy of formation of $1$ $mol$ of $CO_{2(g)}$ is $-393.5$ $kJ \ mol^{-1}$.
$(3)$ Standard enthalpy of formation of $1$ $mol$ of $H_2O_{(l)}$ is $-286$ $kJ \ mol^{-1}$.
